San Francisco is taking the initiative and providing new services to transgender individuals.
Starting this week, University of California, San Francisco handed over its TRANS Project to the San Francisco Department of Public Health. UCSF’s Transitions Project will remain at the school.
In addition to these programs, the city’s Transgender Economic Empowerment Initiative and UCSF’s Center for Excellence for Transgender HIV Prevention were launched this week.
It was reported in the Bay Area Reporter earlier this year that UCSF was returning nearly $1 million in federal grants for its transgender programs. But that is no longer the case, officials said.
